After they are seated, a waitress arrives with water.) Waitress: Hi, good evening. My name is Lisa and I will be your waitress tonight. Please give me a call whenever you are ready. Jason:O.K. (waitress walks away to let them decide what they want. 5 minutes later Jason motions that they are ready to order.) Waitress: Can I take your order please? Jason: Mm, Lisa, what do you recommend? Waitress: Well, the trout and T-bone steak are both excellent. Jason: Hmm, both sound delicious. I think I will try the trout then. Amber: Mm, I’ll have the T-bone steak then. Waitress: How would you like your steak done, miss? Amber: Well-done, please. Waitress: O.K., would you like any appetizers to start with? Jason: I think we’re fine right now, although we do want to try your house wine. Waitress: O.K. So a well-done T-bone steak for the lady and smoked trout for the gentleman, and a bottle of house wine. Anything else? Jason: No, that’s all. Thank you, Lisa.
